> [@Naitguolf;412144](#): > > I am stuck with something… I do want to make a simple rpg launcher. So the weapon fire a proyectil that, on impact, explode like the bomb. Tried to change the damage\_type, but I am unable to do it, any help please? Thanks! Changing the damage type is not enough, that’s purely to identify the kind of damage was applied, and has nothing to do with actually applying damage to hitpoints or FX. ShooterGame has an implementation for projectile based weapons, and the project uses a nearly identical weapon framework. the class is named ShooterWeapon\_Projectile I believe. That should be a good starting point. ---

You can fix the error in this way In SoundNodeLocalPlayer.cpp change this ```auto AActor* SoundOwner = ActiveSound.AudioComponent.IsValid() ? ActiveSound.AudioComponent->GetOwner() : NULL; ``` with this ```auto AActor* SoundOwner = ActiveSound.GetAudioComponent()->IsValidLowLevel() ?

It’s quite simple, you can use it like ShooterGame and all the other Epic sample content. Meaning you can use it as a starterkit to build your own project on top of. As for renaming, I’ve seen some tools floating around that will help with renaming, but none were a guarantee that you didn’t need to add manual edits for it to compile again. ---

Oh so nice! Do you know the name of the tools - searched for them yet can’t seem to find them. Additionally, can you explain two things: - What is the LocalPlayer class about? Doesn’t seem to do anything at all. - When the clients on a multiplayer game load another clients, (e.g., I’m player A, and I see player B), which class exactly is loaded on local client A for player B? Is it a normal instance of the default character class? Lastly, I know this is pretty specific, but if the loaded client is just an instance of the default player class, how are we supposed to distinguish between them? Should we check IsLocalPlayer() ? ---

> [@GuilhermeB;421111](#): > > - What is the LocalPlayer class about? Doesn’t seem to do anything at all. LocalPlayer is useful when dealing with multiple users on a single machine (so mostly for game consoles) when using splitscreen or local multiplayer, each player has one LocalPlayer instance that holds some info on name, HUD etc. Generally you don’t do a whole lot with this class, but it will exist even for your single player game. > [@GuilhermeB;421111](#): > > - When the clients on a multiplayer game load another clients, (e.g., I’m player A, and I see player B), which class exactly is loaded on local client A for player B?

Pawn) > [@GuilhermeB;421111](#): > > Lastly, I know this is pretty specific, but if the loaded client is just an instance of the default player class, how are we supposed to distinguish between them? Should we check IsLocalPlayer() ? that is indeed how you usually check, IsLocallyControlled() etc. ---
